We are using a camera in a practical course of image processing on the college. That camera has it's own library to communicate with it so i tried to download the library so i can prepare for the course
It took like 10 minutes to find out that the library is only given to buyers.
In the package with the camera is a password which you need to download the library. Even the documentation is behind that stupid "pay"-wall.
Yeah, your library can only talk to your cameras so i need one of the cameras to use it so why is the library and the complete documentation of it not public?!
Eventually i copied all of it from the college computers.
Maybe i'm just too spoiled with the broad availability of OSS ...
